The experience

Go beneath the streets of London and explore an abandoned tube station

Join expert guides from the London Transport Museum and discover the hidden spaces of the Charing Cross Underground station. This exclusive tour takes you behind closed doors to explore areas that are not usually accessible to the public – including some tunnels under Trafalgar Square.

You'll hear about the history of the station since its opening in 1906 and will be taken to its forgotten Jubilee line platforms and corridors, which closed to the public in 1999 but were since used as filming locations for popular TV shows and blockbuster films including Killing Eve, the Bond hit Skyfall or Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World.
